Not really a bad way to have to woik, outdoors in Hahamongna, grazing on the plants, is it? Maybe the plumbing research was less pleasant? You've done a good job keeping Patch rolling along in the last few days.

I like the wild-weed guy very much. I liked the way you portrayed him (Ian got latched onto the gloom & doom Internet videos - I cannot believe I raised such a irrational kid). My grandmother was like that...a great forager. Only, she was the only one who ate her pickings. She used to pick skinny wild asparagus in Istria. I never tried it as a kid.
